Interview with Angela Brown

Tell us about your publishing journey…

As a hybrid author – self-published and published through the query process – mines is a journey filled with its fair share of ups and downs. The excitement of getting to share my stories is a high that outweighs many of the down times. I started with self-publishing an erotica novel under my pen name, Rayven Godchild. Along with a great online and IRL bud, Gwen Gardner, I hopped over into self-publishing young adult novels. Beacon started as another project I considered self-publishing, but I decided to put it through the query process and was thrilled to have it picked up by Evernight Teen.

What do you love about being an author?

Story-telling. I get that being an author means writing well, but there’s a certain joy I feel in getting to let my imagination run wild in building a story that makes being an author so wonderful.

If you could have dinner with any literary character, who would it be and what would you eat?

That’s a difficult choice, but I would go with Hermione from Harry Potter and we’d eat whatever delectable tasties her wand conjured.

If your book was to be made into a movie, who would you cast as the leads?

Macie would be Zendaya (from Disney’s KC Undercover)

Thane would be Colton Haynes (from Arrow)

Vampires – do you prefer them as sexy leads or blood hungry monsters?

I like them like Eric from True Blood, blood hungry yet sexy about it at the same time lol!

If you had a time machine, which era would you go back to and why?

I’m fine with the era I’m in, though I wouldn’t mind going back to be an apprentice to Madame CJ Walker.

What life advice do you wish you’d been given sooner?

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

If you were a supernatural creature, what would you be and why?

Probably a vampire, one with a suffering heart wishing I didn’t have to hurt humans for my survival, but an understanding that the occasional dinner – minus the kill or turning – would be good for my soullessness.

Where do you write best?

Seated in my bed :-)

If you didn’t write in your genre, which other would you prefer and why?

Bad Blood – Battle of the Undead #1

“I am Britannia. I am your protector. I will fend off the hungry hordes of undead hands that reach toward you. I am your steadfast defender. I will stand between you and the zombie masses as they try to taste your flesh. I am strong, unyielding, and dedicated to your survival. All I ask from you… is your blood.”

Bad Blood Reviews

5 Stars: This book is freaking Awesome! I read it in like three hours! I couldn’t put the book down the action was mind blowing and the story was riveting! Amanda Masters Reviews

5 Stars: Now, the main reason I loved this book so much was the action. Every word describes action. Every page has action. I also really love the author’s selection of different species of the book and the contrast between the two: the vampires and the zombies. Girl in the Wood Reviews

4 Stars: Bad Blood brings an exciting new take on Vampires. I have to admit, vampire books have been boring me lately, but when you add zombies to the mix…. Loved it!! Genie (Goodreads)

5 Stars: I loved it.. Not really into a Zombie Book, but because it had Vampires I gave it a try and wow.. really a fast paced action book for a short read. Valerie (Goodreads)
